"You, as an emperor, are quite pathetic!"
These words from the Empress Dowager struck Emperor Xia like a bolt from the blue. He looked at the Empress Dowager in astonishment. Was this his mother, the one who gave birth to him and raised him?
He always thought for his mother's sake, never imagining that in her eyes, he would be seen as a cowardly fool.
"Emperor, you must not let the Wei Family continue to be so arrogant; you must bring them down!"
"Mother, do you know what you are saying?"
Emperor Xia took a deep breath, feeling it necessary to have a good conversation with his mother.
The Empress Dowager had been in the palace for many years, and her experience in palace intrigue was considerable. Naturally, she also had the skill to read cues from faces. However, after becoming the Empress and then the Empress Dowager, she gradually didn't need these skills anymore.
